An important area of study in the field of road safety is the complex dynamics of pedestrian risktaking behaviour on national highways. Surveys, interviews, and observational studies carried out at various locations along national highways are just a few of the qualitative and quantitative methods used in this multidisciplinary study that incorporates insights from transportation engineering, sociology, and psychology. The goal of the study is to recognize and comprehend the various elements such as environmental factors, demographics, and infrastructure that impact pedestrians' choices to partake in unsafe activities. The investigation of psychological elements, such as perception of danger and decision-making procedures, enriches the examination of cognitive elements influencing pedestrian decisions in high-risk environments. The effectiveness of current safety protocols and public awareness initiatives is also evaluated in the study. The goal of the research is to provide evidence-based interventions and policy recommendations, such as better infrastructure design, signage, and educational programs, by revealing these insights. The ultimate objective is to provide information for policies aimed at improving pedestrian safety and lowering the number of fatalities and injuries on national roadways. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
